I want "TROGDOR!" for 2600!


Elllleeott!

For those who don't know, Trogdor (from homestarrunner.com) is a dragon with a beefy arm coming out of the back of his neck...and he RULES! He also has his very own videogame, which I think would make for an excellent 2600 translation. Check out the game below:

I would sure love to "Burninate" the countryside on my 2600.

I guess the game would look more like the original on the 5200, but I would still like to see a 2600 version. One because I cant find a pair of decent 5200 controllers, and two, the 2600 is my favorite :). I dont think the game is too complicated for the 2600, and I think most people would agree, that you wont find better controllers than those of the Atari 2600.

 

Perhaps if Mr. Slocum's HSR RPG is successful, which I'm sure it will be, he would consider "TROGDOR!" for a later project (hint hint...if you are reading this Mr. Slocum ;) )

The Pac-man esque cut scenes are very Atari. And man, that game is tough shnizzits. I think I've only made it to level 7. Maybe Paul might be able to squeeze it in as a mini game? I have no idea if he could or not but it'd be rad as a mini game. And hey! what about a real 2600 duck pond simulator??? That'd be bitchin'.

Haha well this is super digging, I was about to make a post asking if anyone had ported 'Trogdor' or any other Homestar Runner game to the 2600, but a quick google search told me this had already been posted.... 11 years ago! (which is back when I used to actually watch Homestar Runner daily! :o

 

Does anyone know if there is any 2600 ports of HsR games? I think Trogdor was supposed to be an 'arcade game' (or atleast made in the style) so a version with lessened graphics/sound would be pretty suiting, and I think Rhino Feeder (http://homestarrunner.com/rhinofeeder.html) is probably making reference to the 5200 or the NES, but gameplay wise could easily work

 

 

Edit: Oh yeah, and Secret Collect is clearly a reference to the 2600! http://homestarrunner.com/games.html
